Available on Limited Edition Neon Orange . Raised on Colombia’s Caribbean coast and united by its capital, Bogota, Ghetto Kumbe combine the rich musical heritage of their home, to invoke the spirit of digital rumba in audiences all over the world.

The secret behind their irresistible electronic sound lies in their powerful percussion base; Caribbean house beats and traditional afro-Colombian rhythms inherited from West Africa. The album’s co-producer, The Busy Twist, adds all the legacy of the UK’s Bass scene to the Afrofuturistic sounds of the 3 Colombians.

Using musical motifs from Africa and Colombia’s Caribbean coast such as the gaita, call-and-response vocals, and an array of hand drums and rhythms, coupled with the elegant electronic production of Techno and House, Ghetto Kumb creates an Afro-futurist soundscape with lyrics to motivate, elevate, and inspire.

This has not gone unnoticed and they’ve played Barranquilla’s world famous Carnival, Boiler Room, and have even opened for Radiohead.

Limited edition neon orange vinyl repress - 300 copies only.
